Title: Support daemon supervision by upstart or systemd

Both upstart and systemd provide a way for daemons to
be supervised, as well as a mechanism for them to
signal their readyness status.

This patch provides compatibility with this functionality while
not interfering with other methods.

With this, it will be possible to use `expect stop` with upstart
and `Type=notify` with systemd.

A more detailed explanation of the mechanism can be found here:
